Minnesota officials are discussing the potential impact of proposed federal cuts to Medicaid at a series of roundtable events across the state. The first two were hosted at Children’s Minnesota in St. Paul and Essentia Health in Duluth.
The roundtables bring together state officials, doctors, patients, and advocates. Possible impacts discussed by the groups include job loss, rising insurance premiums, and longer wait times for care. The discussions underscored that cuts to Medicaid would affect care for everyone – not just those enrolled in the program.
Roundtables will continue in the coming weeks.
